A personal highlight for me this year was seeing Barrowcrown in print for the first time! It can be a bit tricky working out how the pages and lettering will translate but I’m really happy with the results. Shoutout once again to @frissoncomics.bsky.social for their flawless production job :D

Here’s the first page of Barrowcrown: Exploits, which is featured in Knight Terrors published by @frissoncomics.bsky.social
You can pick up a copy at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend 🔥

Panel 3: The crow perches and looks down at the figure. Panel 4: The figure, a girl with short hair and a sigil branded across her cheek, looks to her left at something off-panel.

“Just tea, thank you.”
Black and white ink illustration of Gandalf the Grey sitting in the Prancing Pony with a mug of tea. His hat and staff are placed against the wall behind him. The contemplative atmosphere is disturbed by a hooded silhouette peering through the window behind the grey wizard.

@jakeparappahainey.bsky.social ‘s Spider-Man 3 Zine unlocked in my mind my favourite detail in the film- Harry Osbourne painting an oil masterpiece as a result of acquiring a brain injury from falling 90 feet or so 🎨
Cinema!
Photo of my hand holding Jake Hainey’s Spider-Man 3 Zine- the back cover features a photo of Tobey Maguire doing THAT face from the meme.

How. How can a pathetic meal-grub such as her evade us? Wriggling, squirming through the dark.
The suffocating shadow. We know it well. But this maggot craves the light. The flickers of feeble kindling.
Your Granny will stamp those embers out! And burn you with the remains…
Black and white ink illustration of an eye in a rectangular frame. A campfire is reflected in the eye’s iris.

“Behold! Our might resplendent in its dawn of grace! Our beauty and light in its pride and glory…”
Black and white illustration of Ushoran, Mortarch of Delusion in his mist-shrouded hall, enjoying a chalice of Kingsblood. Will you partake?

I will deliver.
You know I’m a forgiver.
Illustration of a rose with a pair of gesturing hands below it- this is a tribute to Violator by Depeche Mode which turns 35 this year. The background is a wash of red ink and stigmata wounds are implied on the hands (a vague illusion to Violator’s first single Personal Jesus).

Bring back the trend of wearing fur garments embedded with the eternally-screaming decapitated heads of your enemies 💀
Photo of a painted component of the AoS model Ushoran. It is a cloak mantle made from rotting pelts and decorated with severed heads. Very chic.
